Key Features

vram-boss (Python)

  • GPU/VRAM lease coordination via Redis
  • Priority-based queue system
  • Preemption support
  • Heartbeat monitoring
  • CLI: vram-boss status, cleanup, drain, kill
  • Extracted from: model-boss 1.9.0

vram-boss-ts (TypeScript)

  • TypeScript client for VRAM coordination
  • ioredis backend
  • Full type safety
  • Extracted from: model-boss-ts 0.4.0

ram-boss (Python)

  • System RAM lease coordination via Redis
  • Memory analysis (ports analyze-memory.sh)
  • Intelligent cache cleanup (ports clear-ram.sh)
  • Process monitoring
  • CLI: ram-boss status, analyze, clear, cleanup
  • Created from: bash scripts in scripts/system/

ram-boss-ts (TypeScript)

  • TypeScript client for RAM coordination
  • Mirrors vram-boss-ts architecture
  • Created from: scratch

Clean Architecture (No Backward Compatibility)

model-boss is a pure model loading library that uses vram-boss internally. It does NOT re-export GPU coordination classes.

Python (model-boss 2.0.0)

# For GPU coordination, import from vram-boss:
from lilith_vram_boss import GPUBoss, GPULease, Priority

# For model loading, import from model-boss:
from lilith_model_boss import ManagedModelLoader, get_loader, ensure_model

# Use together:
boss = GPUBoss()
loader = ManagedModelLoader(boss=boss)
model = await loader.load("deepseek-r1", vram_mb=8000)

TypeScript (model-boss-ts 1.0.0)

// For GPU coordination, import from vram-boss-ts:
import { GPUBoss, Priority } from '@lilith/ml-vram-boss';

// For path resolution, import from model-boss-ts:
import { ensureModelSync, resolveModel } from '@lilith/ml-model-boss';

// Use together:
const boss = new GPUBoss();
const lease = await boss.acquire({ vramMb: 8000 });
const modelPath = ensureModelSync('my-model');

No backward compatibility needed - nothing was consuming GPU tools from model-boss before this extraction.


Installation

Python Packages

# VRAM coordination
pip install lilith-vram-boss

# RAM coordination + cache management
pip install lilith-ram-boss

# Model loading (depends on vram-boss)
pip install lilith-model-boss

TypeScript Packages

# VRAM coordination
pnpm add @lilith/ml-vram-boss

# RAM coordination
pnpm add @lilith/ml-ram-boss

# Model loading (depends on vram-boss-ts)
pnpm add @lilith/ml-model-boss

Global CLI (Unified Interface)

# Install bitch CLI globally for unified RAM/VRAM management
npm install -g @lilith/bitch --registry=http://forge.nasty.sh/api/packages/lilith/npm/

# Then use:
bitch vram status      # GPU coordination
bitch ram analyze      # RAM management

Migration Guide

Bash Scripts → CLI

Old Command New Command (Direct) New Command (via bitch)
./scripts/system/analyze-memory.sh ram-boss analyze bitch ram analyze
./scripts/system/clear-ram.sh auto ram-boss clear auto bitch ram clear auto
N/A vram-boss status bitch vram status

Recommended: Use bitch CLI for unified interface across all tools.


Next Steps

  1. Publish packages to Forgejo:

    • lilith-vram-boss 1.0.0
    • @lilith/ml-vram-boss 1.0.0
    • lilith-ram-boss 1.0.0
    • @lilith/ml-ram-boss 1.0.0
    • lilith-model-boss 2.0.0
    • @lilith/ml-model-boss 1.0.0
  2. Update consuming applications (optional - backward compatible):

    • Update imports to use vram-boss/ram-boss directly
    • Test integration
  3. CI/CD:

    • Add Forgejo Actions workflows for new packages
    • Update model-boss CI to wait for vram-boss publish

Verification Checklist

  • All 4 new packages created with complete structure
  • model-boss updated to v2.0.0 with vram-boss dependency
  • model-boss-ts updated to v1.0.0 with vram-boss-ts dependency
  • Backward compatibility verified (re-exports working)
  • TypeScript packages typecheck successfully
  • Python packages syntax valid (dependencies need install)
  • Bash scripts deleted (scripts/system/)
  • CLI commands renamed (vram-boss, ram-boss)
  • Documentation created (READMEs, this summary)
